Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of water might enter the
washer. You will drain this in a later step.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record
hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
Secure the Drain Hose
1. Drape the power cord over the console.
2. Remove any cardboard used to move washer.
3. Fasten the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or drain standpipe with the beaded tie strap.
See view A or B.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the formed end of the drain
hose into the standpipe. Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose. See view C.
Level the Washer
One washer foot has been installed at a different height on your new washer. The other three
feet were preset at the factory. Properly leveling your washer will minimize noise and
vibration.
1. Slide the washer to its final location.
2. Push on upper front panel to be sure the washer is on its rear feet.
3. Lower right front foot until it contacts the floor. By hand, firmly rotate foot as much as an
additional 1½ turns. The other three feet have been preset at the factory.
4. Check the levelness of the washer by first placing a level on the lid near the console.
Next, place the level on the side of the washer in the crease between the top of the
washer and the cabinet.
Level the front.
